Fanboy to the core...
Your arguments aren't following any logic. You aren't giving Apple any credit. They have the latest i5s and i7s. They are up to speed but if you'd take your MS blinders off you could have seen that.
The main thing you should credit them for is having the vision to be the first ones to have the "Ultrabook" in any kind of volume.
If you weren't such a MS fanatic you could be honest and give credit where credit's due.
